Plan members select a primary care physician (PCP) from the LCMC Healthcare Partners network to diagnose and treat common conditions, promote a healthy lifestyle, navigate the complex medical system and find the right care from the appropriate providers. The network represents a collection of health providers, including physicians employed by one of LCMC Health’s five-member hospitals – Children’s Hospital, Touro Infirmary, New Orleans East Hospital, University Medical Center New Orleans and West Jefferson Medical Center – as well as community physicians, hospitals and post-acute specialists.
